Résumé
The mechanism of avascular osteonecrosis (AVN) is controversial. Besides an increased bone marrow pressure with reduced blood supply, an enhanced coagulation has been considered. We hypothesize that a genetic variant of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) determines the risk of AVN in glucocorticoid-treated patients.
Genotyping for the 4G/5G PAI-1 polymorphism was performed in 228 glucocorticoid-treated renal transplant patients. AVN of the hip was present in 26 patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hips was obtained in 81 of the remaining renal transplant patients without clinical symptoms of AVN.
The presence of the homozygous 4G/4G PAI-1 genotype was higher in patients with AVN (60.3%) as compared with patients without either clinical (20.6%, P<0.007) or radiological signs of AVN (17.3%, P<0.002). The prevalence of AVN by genotype was 1.8% with the 5G/5G, 7.7% with the 5G/4G, and 30.3% with the 4G/4G alleles (P<0.001 vs. 5G/4G and 5G/5G). The prevalence of AVN increased with increasing body mass index (BMI) (P=0.04). The prevalence of AVN by genotype in subjects with persistent hyperparathyroidism was 4.2% with the 5G/5G, 15.2% with the 5G/4G, and 55.5% with the 4G/4G alleles (P<0.003 vs. 5G/4G and P<0.001 vs. 5G/5G).
Hypofibrinolysis conferred by the 4G/4G PAI-1 gene variant is a major predisposing factor for AVN in renal transplant patients. The risk is particularly high in obese subjects or patients with persistent hyperparathyroidism. A prospective intervention study of early anticoagulation after renal transplantation is needed to assess whether glucocorticoid-associated AVN can be prevented.
